Thumbs up Vegan thread

So I'm vegan now

Please either help me with guidance and support, or stop killing animals and harvesting their products so that it's easier for me to find vegan shit

Speaking of vegan shit, my bowel movements have taken a turn for the worse

Which is really saying something

this is the thread I would have made in 1996, as a 16 year old, when I went vegan.

good luck.

I hope none of the furniture you are enjoying is put together with hide glue.

Yeah I know about glue.

I also know about the slave labour that went into manufacturing the devices that you and I communicate to each other with

It's so funny to see people trying to point the contradictions in vegans

Like if people cared about contradictions elsewhere...

As an ex-vegan it just makes me roll my eyes when people become vegans in later life.

I mean what, you ignored all of this stuff until now, and then suddenly started caring?

And now you've made the change and it isn't enough just to change...you have to tell everyone about it?

Seems kinda fishy to me

As an ex-vegan everything you say about the subject sounds kind of fishy, no pun intended.

What was I supposed to do, be a vegan at birth? In my family?

I've been a low-commitment vegan for years. When I went out to eat, I'd only get something with meat or animal products in it say, once out of every ten meals.

And it's funny how people complain about people talking about veganism. Recently I went to dinner with a group of people, and I got a vegan meal, and someone asked what it was, when I told them what it was, they said it sounds like the menu item for picky bitches that don't want anything in their food. Like, remind me again which group of people are known for shoving their ideas down other's throats, vegans or non-vegans?

Isn't finding vegan shit super easy if you stick to the produce aisle?

Also, I'm sure you know (and if you don't, then I hate to be the one to break it to you) but most regular cafes that claim some of their meals are vegan are not being legit.

You're welcome.

eh, I dunno. I went vegetarian at 14, and quickly backslid. Not because I particularly love meat, just because I was hungry and disorganised and dinner time would roll around and I didn't have the willpower to abstain. And then at 16 I decided I was serious, after starting work in the butchery unit at a supermarket. I was living with my family, then. I wasn't a healthy vegan, I smoked cigarettes and drank a lot of coffee.

But it wasn't that hard. I didn't have a lot of cooked meals after that, though. I ate a lot of pita bread and canned beans and bulgur wheat, and salad. And tofu. And porridge.

Me? Eat fresh fruits and vegetables? Geddouddahere.

I do hope to eventually improve my general diet and cooking habits to incorporate fresh produce more, but I'm talking about stuff that isn't food. Like, it's so hard to find stuff like shower gel or shampoo that makes itself known to be vegan.

And I'm already well acquainted with restaurants and cafes not having even a single vegan menu item, and having to ask to replace shit or not include other shit. I've probably unwittingly eaten butter or honey in the last couple of weeks.

For some reason the gluten free and organic trends are more prevalent and accomodated for than veganism, even though people's reasoning behind consuming gluten free and organic shit is most times uninformed at best. I keep getting blank stares everywhere I go from food industry people who would normally find themselves under fire if they served a trace of something to someone with an allergy.

Not that hard - we used to get a lot of stuff from the Body Shop. A lot of Dr. Hauschka and Weleda stuff is vegan.

You just get used to shopping in different places. It's easier than ever now, with internet shopping.

Thanks for telling everyone you are a vegan. That's the most important part of your new lifestyle.

It was easier to just stick to cafes that were known to have vegan options. Or your can always ask for a salad.

I would avoid Asian restaurants though, unless they have a particular vegan approach. In my experience a lot of vegetarian/vegan dishes are made with oyster sauce, fish sauce or shrimp paste, etc.

I guess it was an easier stage of life to be vegan, because I was a student and we were all broke anyway, and hardly ever ate out.

Most NZ style cafes are pretty accommodating if they're not too busy, and you're amiable when you ask. I used to eat a lot of mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and garlic, on whole grain toast, with some green leaves at the side. Most places are pretty happy to slap something like that together.

But back then most of the hipster places would have one or two vegan options on the menu and up at the counter. My favourite cafe in Wellington, Fidel's (now utterly ruined by the pack of capitalistic hipster bastards that congregate there) used to make these vegan banana and chocolate chunk muffins. I think they used the Whittaker's dark block.

I dunno. It wasn't that hard. It usually wouldn't even come up.

Which is why threads like this make me a bit eye roll-y

It must be animal products that grant one the ability to see things coming.
